Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Response
Baseline, Week 16

The Investigator Global assessment (IGA) scale used was vIGA-AD\^TM (Validated Investigator Global Assessment scale for Atopic Dermatitis). The IGA rating scale was used to determine the severity of atopic dermatitis and clinical response to treatment. It reflected a participant's overall disease severity for the whole body based on a 5-point scale. The 5-point scale included: clear, almost clear, mild, moderate, and severe disease. IGA response is defined as clear or almost clear and at least a 2 point-reduction from baseline at week 16.

Change in Percent Predicted FVC From Baseline to 16 Weeks of Treatment
Baseline, Week 16

To assess the effect of CMK389 compared to placebo after 16 weeks of treatment on spirometry (Forced Vital Capacity). Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. Percent predicted FVC is the percentage of the age, height and gender adjusted predicted value.

Secondary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
AEs were reported from first dose until the end of the 12 weeks follow up period, up to a max. duration of approx. 197 days. For women of child-bearing potential, pregnancies were reported (if occurred) for up to approx. 268 days after first dose.
